Chapter 104
"It was raining in Yang City yesterday, and my wife got stuck there."
The driver was a talkative person: "I see, picking up your wife. I see you have a car in the back, why are you taking a taxi?"
"My wife doesn't have a car."
"I see, then I won't disturb you. You just hold the baby and sleep a bit, it'll be dark, and I'll drive slowly and carefully."
The big brother driver was very enthusiastic.
Xu Xiuhe was holding Zhengzheng in the backseat, and Zhengzheng was sleeping soundly. Xu Xiuhe tried to relax himself as much as possible to let Xu Yunzheng sleep comfortably.
As the clock struck, the east gradually brightened, Xu Xiuhe opened his eyes, looked at his watch, and out the window.
"You're awake, you know, the rain in Yang City is really heavier than in Rong City," the driver said as he saw Xu Xiuhe wake up.
Xu Xiuhe didn't say anything, just quietly looking out the window. In fact, he wanted to say that of course he knew the rain in Yang City was heavy, his wife had told him yesterday.
There was still water on the road, and branches, leaves, and various trash bags were scattered on the ground, a typical scene after a heavy rain.
"The rain now is a good thing, it's just too heavy. The corn has just been planted, and it might need to be replanted in a few days," the big brother driver sighed.
This was the first time Xu Xiuhe had heard about crop-related topics, and he found it interesting. He didn't interrupt the driver and just listened. After all, he didn't have many opportunities to hear such things. Since he started his business, he had even taken fewer taxis, usually driving himself. Liu, his assistant, would sometimes drive for him, and there were drivers at the Ziyue Manor, but lately, he and Shen Yin had been driving themselves, forgetting about the drivers.
"Sir, your child is so young, why did your wife go to Yang City?" the driver was still curious.
"On a business trip."
Instantly, the driver's gaze in the rearview mirror changed. His wife went on a business trip, and the man was at home taking care of the child? Could it be that this man was a "kept man," a house-husband.
The driver didn't say anything else, pondering in his heart. These days, there are all kinds of people. The man in the back looked well-dressed and well-off, but who would have thought he was a "pretty boy," relying on his wife to support him.
The driver thought more and more about it, and he hated men who spent women's money the most.
Xu Xiuhe didn't know what happened, but he could feel the driver's attitude towards him had changed. Could it be that the driver had recognized him just now? That's why he didn't dare to speak.
It was getting brighter, and the driver kept looking at Xu Xiuhe through the rearview mirror, not for any other reason, just disdain. But the more he looked, the more familiar the man seemed. Now that it was bright, he might have said the wrong thing just now.
"Are you the president of the Yuhuan Group?" the driver asked cautiously.
Xu Xiuhe didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
The driver confirmed it. He didn't know if the president in the back had noticed his disdain, but he really knew he was wrong. Who would have thought that he, a Didi driver, would pick up the president of a major group? And who would have thought that the president's wife would be on a business trip?
"I apologize for my disrespect just now," the driver suddenly became serious.
"I see you are a good driver. Would you be interested in working for me? The salary will definitely be higher than driving for Didi," Xu Xiuhe asked.
"Ah!" The driver didn't respond immediately. He just took a single ride, and now he had found a stable job, and it was at a big company. He couldn't quite believe it. Could it be that he had just done a good deed. "Of course."
"To be precise, you'll be driving for my wife. My wife has just opened a few studios and may need to travel back and forth. You'll be her exclusive driver from now on."
The big brother driver still couldn't believe such good luck had befallen him, and hurriedly replied, "Okay."
"Daddy, where are we going?" the sleepy Zhengzheng in Xu Xiuhe's arms asked.
"We're going to get Mommy," Xu Xiuhe replied.
At the mention of finding Mommy, Zhengzheng suddenly became alert, sitting up from Xu Xiuhe's arms, with an excited little expression, which was clearly visible.
"Find Mommy, want Mommy to hug me," Zhengzheng clapped his little hands.
"Sit tight, we'll be there soon," Xu Xiuhe said.
It was just past six o'clock, and it was already bright.
Xu Xiuhe didn't tell Shen Yin that he had brought Zhengzheng with him. From the video Shen Yin sent yesterday, Xu Xiuhe had a rough idea of which hotel she was in.
After the car was parked, the big brother driver got out and opened the door.
"You can go back now. Report to Qinghe Villa tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
Xu Xiuhe carried Zhengzheng and walked up to the front desk, asking for Shen Yin's room. The front desk girl looked at him, and according to the rules, she couldn't casually give out the guest's privacy. But Shen Yin was a VIP guest, and the girl had also heard yesterday that this gentleman had helped the pregnant woman give birth smoothly.
"Hello, sir, may I ask what is your relationship with Ms. Shen Yin?"
Zhengzheng answered first, "Shen Yin is Zhengzheng's mommy, Zhengzheng is Shen Yin's little baby." Zhengzheng emphasized this twice.
The front desk girl, seeing Zhengzheng's expectant little expression, his eyes wide open so cutely, couldn't help but give the room number.
Xu Xiuhe turned and took Zhengzheng to the elevator. The front desk girl then regretted it, what if something happened? She wouldn't be able to take responsibility. Tsk tsk tsk, it's all because of that pretty face, she was bewitched by an adult's charm.
"Knock, knock, knock," Xu Xiuhe knocked on the door.
"Mommy, open the door, Mommy, open the door for Zhengzheng."
After just a few knocks, the door opened. Shen Yin was a little surprised when she opened the door, thinking it was a hotel staff member.
"How come you're here so early?" Shen Yin asked. She knew from yesterday's drive from Rong City how long the trip was, and they arrived here just after 6 a.m. Could it be that they came over in the middle of the night?
"Mommy, hug," Zhengzheng, who hadn't seen Shen Yin for a day, couldn't help but cozy up to her.
Shen Yin took Zhengzheng in her arms and asked, "Why did Zhengzheng wake up so early today?"
"He didn't wake up early, I just carried him into the car while he was still sleeping," Xu Xiuhe quickly explained, worried that Shen Yin would blame him for not taking good care of Zhengzheng.
"Come in first," Shen Yin carried Zhengzheng into the room.
"I've already washed up and was just about to go back. How come you're here too? What about work?" Shen Yin asked.
Xu Xiuhe just realized he hadn't told Liu Bo that he wouldn't be going to the office in the morning, and that Liu Bo would need to preside over the meeting.
"Let me make a call." Xu Xiuhe took out his phone and went into the bathroom.
"Hello, President, any instructions?"
"Assistant Liu, I'm in Yang City now. You preside over the morning meeting. I'll give you a raise and introduce you to a date in return."
Xu Xiuhe said, and without waiting for Liu Bo's response, he hung up.
Liu Bo was almost at the office, and the president told him that he was in Yang City. Could it be that he went there last night? The president is awesome! With such heavy rain, he went there overnight.
